Australian Company

[SFD]

I got an email today from Becman Manufacturing (PC Boards) informing that
they will be closed from 4th to 18th February to celebrate Chinese New Year.

Over the past umpteen months I has received emails from them touting
themselves as an "Australian" company, their address is at Walter Crest,
Lawnton QLD. I don't use them, I unfortunately I deal directly with PCB
companies in China.

So does this mean that we can expect various local companies to choose which
countries holidays they will shut up shop?

I think I will acknowledge each of the World's countries holidays throughout
this year, and take leave for those periods - hopefully I will still have
one or two customers left in December!

At least they told you that they wouldn't be able to get anything done then.

Give Dick Smith a ring, maybe he'll make a video about it.

If an OZ company depends on O/S fabrication then how can they provide a service
during the time their O/S supplier is shut?

OZ still has a way to go with its holiday regulations, for example the way
holidays are shifted if the real holiday date falls on a weekend etc.
